Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has also been repeatedly held that, where a grantee buys property subject to a mortgage, which he does not assume and agree to pay, said grantee does not become personally liable for the payment of the mortgage. Bailey v. State, 72 Okla. 203 , 179 P. 615 ; Van Eman v. Mosing, 36 Okla. 555 , 129 P. 2 . These cases are based on the theory that, unless it otherwise affirmatively appears, the purchaser is buying only the equity of redemption.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““We believe that the intention of an assumption clause in a deed is for the purpose of indemnifying the grantor, and that the only theory on which a mortgagee can-sue a grantee who assumes the payment of a mortgage is that said assumption is for the purpose of granting additional security for the debt already existing.””
